Gt35r Vs Garrett T04z - Discussion (just Post In This Thread To Create A Database)

[tommis85]

Hey guys could any of you answer this question for me? It's just regarding my coil packs under a new topic - didn't want to hi-jack this one with other stuff.

Are you serious?!?!?

[tommis85]

Damn.....two different replies!

I doubted it would work but thought I'd ask.

[Cjmartz2k]

No, I meant are you seriously putting a link to a different, completely unrelated thread in this thread and saying "I don't want to thread jack, but............". That's just ridiculous.

[tommis85]

I meant I didn't want to write about something totally non-turbo related in this thread so instead I just threw a link in and hope some of the GTR guys on here visit it in their travels.... I did a lot of posting about my turbo upgrade on the last couple of pages and I plan to post future stuff about my GT3582 developments in this thread. I just thought it'd be a good idea to keep the coils and anything else separate.

[tommis85]

But, if people are happy with that....then hey, I'll just copy it all in from my other topic. I guess if we talk about cams and cam gears and pumps in here then why not include coil packs as well, or?

[tommis85]

Anyways guys, this is what I ended up with when I had my GT3582 ordered through my mechanic from HP in a Box. Pretty nice hey....I like the whole new vein design on the exhaust wheel...it must give you at least eleventy-billion extra horses. This would explain why my GTR sounded uncannily like a lawnmower the milo tin at the back. A nice second hand, stuffed, ford xr6 cartridge hidden inside brand new covers and....the best thing.....I paid full price!

Not bad hey....lol, I was running that for a couple weeks! Hopefully today some time I'll receive my new cartridge bundled with a smaller .63 housing.

After $9240 of work, I have pretty much achieved as much as I would have if I bolted on a $25 bleed valve and cranked my stocko turbos up a little bit which, by the way, are in awesome condition. I've never seen turbos that are so old but in such good nick.

[tommis85]

Ok, now the E11 is in and the brand new GT35 with .63 housing is also in. The only thing that's letting me down now is the coil packs which I'll replace soon with a set of Splitfires.

I just had one question though, for those who are familiar with the E11's inner workings (which I am not). Could anyone please offer up advice on how to tune in the A/C idle up rpm's vs the AAC valve that physically puts up the revs. My tuner is having a bit of fun getting this tuned in although I'll check this again tomorrow. He says that there have been known issues with the link cables/interface connectors??? Could someone please shed some light on this?

Cold start and additional rpm's for idle with a/c on are the only things that are being a bit problematic at the moment.

[BMYHOE]

so who likes T04z's

[Strik3r]

me !

different turbo for different application. A t04z is good for another 100hp on top of what the gt35r makes at the expense of a bit more lag. If you can deal with the lag or are willing to spend a bit of money upgrading everything to improve response, then why not take the extra power!

Get lost Lagman..35R FTW

[tommis85]

I had a GT35 with .82 rear on there before - so laggy! Now I have a GT35 with 0.63 rear....a bit better. Happy I didn't go with that T04z for my power goals - I don't think I can deal with something that spools up so late! GT35 is late enough when you compare it to the spool up time of the stock twin ceramics!

[T04GTR]

i give you 2 months till you cry for more

[N1GTR]

GT35 is laggy?

I can think of at least 4 cars straightaway you would hate

[GTRNUR]

Throw this out there.... Im about to start assembly of a 3.1lt stroker. To4z or twin GTRS's for a resposive setup that makes 450awkw...?

[N1GTR]

GTRS's. No question. So much linear power. The TO4Z GTR's ive been in have had a quite violent power delivery, which as fun as it is - isnt as drivable IMO as a set of twins.

I had a single on an rb2630, then swapped for GTRS's on an rb2630 and the twins even making almost the same power are so much easier to use and quick without the "whoa fu(k does this thing have brakes?" feeling. The twins put the pace on and get to 200kmh without making a fuss of it

Go with whatever you like, but the above is what ive personally found and id definatly recommend them

Have you bought all the parts? What have you got?

Yeah i suspected that was going to be the way to go. After seeing RPMGTR's results as well with the 2.9lt build they did GTRS's make good sense.

[N1GTR]

Yeah 100%, GTRS's are the way to go

[tommis85]

i give you 2 months till you cry for more

Haha I just want to get it going properly first! I know what you mean but and in that case I could always put the .82 rear back on. There's a lot of other stuff I have to do before I'd go for more power as I want to take it to more race outings. (brakes, cooling, suspension etc)

My goal for now is no more than 400awhp which is plenty.....should see that after I get pump, injectors and cams but just for now, I'd settle for around 350awhp as that's probably getting quite close to the injector's limits!

Would I be correct to assume that at around 480-500bhp one would be looking at getting the internals upgraded as well?

[bubba]

.. without the "whoa fu(k does this thing have brakes?" feeling.

^^ lol

Well my GT35R is very close to going on, front end of the car is apart and will pull stock manifolds off next week to then mock-fit the new manifold + turbo Currently chasing little odds n ends such as the brackets that hold the cooler onto a 32GTR so I can fit the new cooler and piping.. the engine bay side of things looks pretty tight (to get to throttlebody and also from turbo hot pipe) but I want to avoid having to relocate my battery if possible!
